Standalone Nix home manager

Nix command and flakes support has to be enabled.

mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
echo 'experimental-features = nix-command flakes' >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf

Nix home-manager config provides cli part of config only. As gui has host system dependencies and workarounds. For GUI configuration use stow-able dotfiles.

nix run home-manager/master -- switch --flake .

Standalone stow-able dotfiles

In dotfiles directory run stow -t ~ -v * which means: Stow to ~ verbose so that you can see what happens * glob to everything in current directory

Structure

./dotfiles regular stow-able dot files

./home nix home-manager home configuration. It is split into two main files home-cli and home-gui. Which are responsible for command-line-interface and graphical user interface respectively.

By default home.nix should be used which imports both. If host systems has GUI dependencies, otherwise CLI only config should be used.

/hosts Contains host specific configurations.

./lib Contains function used to define nixOS systems outside of main flake module.

./modules Modules which could be called workflows.

./pkgs Custom pkgs.
